How to draw Sailor Jupiter

How to draw Anime character Sailor Jupiter, Makoto Kino from Sailor Moon series. Sailor Jupiter is one of the five original Inner Sailor Senshi of the Solar System. Her civilian identity is Makoto Kino. Sailor Jupiter is the third member of the Senshi to be discovered by Usagi Tsukino, and serves as the “brawns” of the group. In this tutorial you will learn to draw a Manga character Sailor Jupiter. I will show you step by step drawing her face and body in a natural standing post with two arms in the front. This version of Sailor Jupiter Anime drawing is more like a fany art in my style as a tribute to the Manga. I like drawing character with different style of Manga drawing rather than the original. Hope you like it. Before I start a drawing, I did rough sketch. I usually start my rough sketch with simple geometry shapes to construct the basic Manga head and body. By following this process, you will find drawing is lot easier. It is very important to get the shape and proportion right in the beginning. If you understand its basic foundation, it will be easier to draw anything. If you want to be good at drawing, you will have to practice at least couple hours a day.
Her sailor suit has a dark green collar, dark green skirt, sugar pink front and back bows, dark green boots, a dark green tie around her neck, and a green-stoned tiara. She wears pink rose-shaped earrings and a special hair tie with two green round balls on it. In the manga and PGSM, she wore a rose belt.
